Thats true, China might standby NK but if it came to war I don't think China would risk it with America over NK if anything it might make US and China ties some what weaker.
As for Russia and America the only war I see is Russia stepping up the cat and mouse game it's been doing for sometime, taking planes into or as close as the borders to whatever countries it wants to torment maybe enough to **** Trump off that he will make the first move against Russia

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
I thought Trump was suposed to be in Russia's pocket?
Perhaps I misunderstood the theme running through this thread?

Yes, what he did was right. BUT, this will provoke an evil war with Russia, China and North Korea.
And DT will want to do it his way.
Even though you are a President, you still have to abide by certain rules.

Arthur, if you read this post look up War Powers Resolution Act. A sitting President does not need congressional approval unless he wanted to undertake a longer term solution.

China will prop up and support North Korea as long as their useful but they'll drop them as soon as they become more trouble than they're worth just like they did with pol pot in Cambodia when they let the Vietnamese topple him

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
I wonder whether there is an element of trying to deflect attention from the ongoing investigation of Trump & Co's Russian links during the election campaign.

I kind thought the same too...it might actually be a misconception. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump
Russia clearly thought before the election that Clinton would intervene in Syria and Trump would not. Remember that was one of the bigger differences between them on the campaign trial with Trump and his supporters arguing against antagonizing Russia. Maybe they calculated wrong or maybe this was a one-off.
Russia are certainly completely overreacting to a missile strike on a military base. They're talking about responding with force next time America does this! Literally threatening a war with the United States.
I think Jonhson might be onto something with increasing sanctions against Russia: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/n...utin-7kcpstplc

Was being the operative word.
Trump is now taking a more conventional approach to that relationship now he's looking at the evidence placed in front of him by US intelligence as oppose to the narrative served up by Fox News and Breitbart.

I guess a free trade deal with Russia is now out of the question!

Yes, a while ago my nephew bought a Yotaphone: Android smartphone on the front and an e-reader on the back. Cool idea and it's actually a decent phone.
One thing Russia is trying to do is get it's aviation industry to kick-on, primarily to reduce their reliance on Airbus and Boeing to service their domestic airlines.
They're now exporting some Sukhoi Superjets (similar to the A31xx/A32xx family) but that's more of a testing-the-waters exercise than anything. Their aviation industry is in such a state that it'll be decades before they can produce enough aircraft to even come close to being a viable competitor to the big boys.
